Product Overview

The document details the technical specifications and applications of the RECSCREEN 4000P fabric, designed primarily for solar protection and interior/exterior textile architecture. It includes various color references and combinations such as Blanco-Blanco (White-White), Negro-Negro (Black-Black), Gris Perla-Gris Perla (Pearl Gray-Pearl Gray), and others.

Applications and Recommended Uses

• Interior Use: Roller blinds for windows and glazed enclosures, pleated blinds, vertical band curtains, Japanese panels, textile shading sails, cushions, and various furniture upholstery including chairs, sofas, stools, and decorative accessories.
• Exterior Use: Facades and glazed enclosures, roller blinds for windows and skylights, awnings (straight arm, stor, invisible arm), retractable canopies, balcony coverings, verandas, pergolas, parasols, gazebos, windbreaks, and outdoor furniture such as loungers, hammocks, and self-supporting chairs.

Notes specify limitations on dimensions for certain awnings and verandas, and restrictions on upholstery use in public venues like theaters and auditoriums.

Thermal Properties and Solar Factors

The fabric's thermal performance is evaluated in combination with two types of glazing (Type C and Type D), with detailed solar transmission (TS), reflection (RS), absorption (AS), and total solar energy transmittance (gtot) factors provided. Key points include:

• Solar transmittance (TS) ranges from low values (~1.5%) for dark colors (e.g., Negro-Negro) to higher values (~19.8%) for light colors (e.g., Blanco-Blanco).
• Solar reflection (RS) is highest in dark colors (~94.5%) and lower in light colors (~11%).
• Absorption (AS) varies accordingly, influencing heat retention.
• Thermal comfort classes are assigned based on these factors, indicating the fabric's effectiveness in controlling solar heat gain.

The document also explains the interaction between fabric and glazing, including the position of the fabric (interior or exterior) relative to the glass and its impact on solar energy transmission.

Ultraviolet (UV) Protection

The fabric provides UV transmission factors (TUV) indicating its ability to block ultraviolet radiation, contributing to interior protection from UV damage.

Optical Properties

Visible light transmittance (TV) values are given for normal-hemispherical and diffuse conditions, showing how much natural light passes through the fabric. Light colors have higher transmittance, enhancing daylighting, while dark colors reduce light transmission.

Material Characteristics and Benefits

• Textile appearance and feel suitable for printing.
• No cone effect and color stability over time.
• Dimensional stability and easy maintenance.
• Resistance to aging and environmental factors.
• Economic and energy-saving advantages due to solar control.

Certifications and Compliance

The fabric is lead-free, phthalate-free, and complies with REACH regulations. It holds energy protection certifications, ensuring environmental and health safety standards.

Technical Notes and Limitations

• Thermal and optical values have a tolerance of ±5% and are based on laboratory tests or calculations according to current standards.
• Product data may evolve; users must verify they have the latest information.
• The manufacturer disclaims responsibility for improper installation or use outside recommended applications.
• Photographs and descriptions are indicative and non-contractual.
